UK : Scot : fallout from Jodi Jones murder case? Many of you will already have read the terrible details of the Jodi Jones murder case - a teenage lad in Scotland who was a heavy cannabis user stabbed his girlfriend to death in a remote wood. Its a harrowing case, and thankfully he is now in jail for life where he cannot hurt anybody else - but I can't help but think that whilst the media make a big thing about his dope smoking/dealing this lad was a psychopathic criminal who would have committed such an act whether he took drugs or not.
The offender comes across as a similar personality type to the teenagers who now prey on the London party scene intent on causing violence and destruction (whilst they may carry out robberies as well there are definitely a few who just enjoy the violence for the pure thrill of it) - at least one of them has since gone down for murder.
Most of the authoritarian lobby will purely blame drugs (and alcohol) for this and other crimes - and I fear that people who use drugs will all be increasingly demonised because of the actions of a violent few - already I'm reading reports about plans for spot checks on all Scots school children...
I'd agree to an extent drugs can exacerbate pre-existing mental disorders - but does anyone else think they will be seen as an easy target when the real danger is far worse - a culture of violence (particularly amongst young males) where the use of force to control others and the carrying of weapons is now becoming seen as acceptable amongst some communities, which has (perhaps inadvertantly) been championed through some sections of the media - which often goes unchallenged whilst people become overly paranoid about relatively harmless substance use?
Interested to see what anyone else thinks...
UK : A life on the ocean rave – pills found on one of HM Ships! Although this is amusing at first read, it becomes less so when you consider some of the side-effects of pills are paranoia and agression, the UK is at war, and one of these mateys may have their finger on the button...

'Ecstasy find' on Royal Navy ship
An investigation is under way after a substance suspected to be ecstasy was found on board a Royal Navy warship. A "single individual" was helping with inquiries into the find on HMS Cumberland but no-one had been charged, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said.
Results of tests on the substance were not yet complete, he added.
The substance was left in the mess room by a sailor after a night out in Plymouth, where the ship is based, according to the Sun newspaper.
'Robust policy'
"The special investigation branch are conducting an investigation on HMS Cumberland in relation to the alleged possession of a suspect controlled substance," the spokesman said.
The Royal Navy retains a comprehensive programme of random drug testing for maximum deterrent
Ministry of Defence
The Royal Navy had a "very robust" policy on drugs "which would not be tolerated at any time", he added.
"The Royal Navy retains a comprehensive programme of random drug testing for maximum deterrent."
The Cumberland, a type 22 frigate, is based at Devonport Naval Base, in Plymouth.
In May, HMS Cumberland played a major role in finding 3.5 tonnes of cocaine on a former torpedo boat in the mid-Atlantic.
Thanks to Richie anf the Folklore deep house crew Good gig last night at Maidstones River Bar with Richie and the Folklore Crew. Deep house downstairs, hip-hop upstairs. Lots of committment and enthusiasm. These boys are going far. Shaun and Oz played with each others 12"s, as per, laying down a multi blend of deep beats across the spectrum for the delectation of the Maidstone night owls. After it was over to Margate to celebrate the lovely Tort's birthday with all the east kent boys and girls DJing and dancing away like crazy. Writing this at 11am after having just got home. Time for bed Zededee...zzz

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is paying a one-day visit to Iraq, his eighth in all to the country
In an address to US troops upon landing at the Mosul airfield, he said they had shown "that America is in fact a land of liberators, not a land of occupiers".
But he underlined the importance of local security forces in taking control of the situation: "It is the Iraqis who have to over time defeat the insurgency."
Hours earlier, 10 Iraqi police were killed during a fierce gun battle late on Thursday in Salman Pak, south-east of Baghdad
Read: We've had enough and we're off
I'm wondering what should be done... I don't think it's fair to abandon Iraq to civil war... if the Americans aren't going to see it through... should the UN send security forces to offer?

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY WE MUST SHOW THAT WE ARE. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY WE MUST SHOW THAT WE ARE.
Party principles at parties in the community on the streets...
1. We believe that it is the responsibility of each of us to look after ourselves. We believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to look after oneself before anyone can claim to be looking after anyone else.
2. The freedom of each of us to do as we like can interfere with the freedom of those around us. Since consideration of others within total personal freedom cannot be enforced, consideration for others is now expected from each one of us, and from us all.
3. We will act on the following: - Private interests who deny access to the countryside and who build on it. - Private criminal elites organising the sale of drugs at community events. - Private careerists who hijack the movement or any of its banners or principles. - Private landlords who allow city buildings to stand empty and unused. - We undertake to use free and squatted space efficiently and to keep an orderly house. - We undertake to discourage new communities from becoming overcrowded, or to allow them to be used as police warehousing.
4. We know the following must happen so we can continue to do what we do in freedom and fairness. We are prepared to confront hard problems with real, direct and non-violent solutions Therefore we will: - Deal with organised crime selling drugs within parties and community gatherings. - Ensure the following considerations are planned for on site and acted on at all our social gatherings. - Safe convoys to and from pitches. - Ensure fire safety and limits on numbers. - Undertake to check the sanitary arrangements and arrange basic medical care. - Venues should be away from non-participating communities with respect to noise, car, and crowd pollution. - Education and harm reduction information is on site. - Check drug taking and drug availability in the community on site. - Media coverage provisions and lawyers on site as part of our defence when dealing with the law.
5. We believe only care and attention to all the above will create safe crime free environments to provide real working models and alternatives to the Babylon control that is the Criminal Justice Bill.
6. We know that commitment to personal communication nourishes truth, freedom and honesty. We will share information, and will communicate with each other completely.
